Greene and Pagan Near Return
The Reds are inching closer to a pitching resurgence as Hunter Greene prepares for a minor league rehab start and Emilio Pagan gears up for his own rehab outings—both looking strong and poised to return soon. With Pierce Johnson already back, the bullpen could see a major boost. But the team’s still struggling mightily against the Brewers, now at 2-14 since 2022—making this stretch especially tough. Still, the potential return of Greene and Pagan could be the spark they desperately need.

De La Cruz Returns as Reds Turn to Bleday
Elly De La Cruz is back on track after a hamstring layoff, and his return could be the shot in the arm the struggling Cincinnati Reds desperately need. Slumping since early June and now in last place, the team is banking on his power and speed to turn things around before the All-Star break. To make room, outfielder Will Benson — who’s been hitting poorly — gets sent down to Triple-A, opening the door for younger players like JJ Bleday to step up. This move signals the Reds’ priority: putting their best players on the field now. De La Cruz’s elite pe...
Chase Petty Finds Fire in the Bullpen
Chase Petty’s bullpen debut has been a revelation—after struggling in spot starts, the Reds’ pitching prospect is now dominating with a 1.59 ERA since June 10, learning to attack elite hitters with his full arsenal and turning heads with three scoreless outings and his first big league win. Manager Francona’s praise and veteran mentorship are fueling his rise, proving this new role might just be his biggest breakout yet.

Votto Mentors Rising Star at Daytona
Joey Votto, retired Reds legend and hitting savant, is making waves at Daytona Tortugas games—not just cheering from the stands, but personally coaching young prospect Tyson Lewis on the field. Votto’s hands-on guidance, focused on fundamentals like line-drive backspin and disciplined approach, is already paying off as Lewis’ performance soars. For a kid who grew up idolizing Votto, this mentorship is priceless—and proves that veteran wisdom still shapes the next generation of stars.

Steele Hall Shines in Reds System
Steele Hall, the Reds’ ninth overall draft pick, is exploding onto the scene at just 18, slashing over .300 with a .590 slugging percentage in the Arizona Complex League. Already leading the league with seven homers, 20 extra-base hits, and 15 stolen bases, Hall’s elite speed and power are making him a prime candidate for a promotion to Low-A—his breakout season could be just getting started.

Paddack's Fall From Twins Trade
Chris Paddack’s latest DFA stings — his second this season after a brutal year with no wins and a sky-high ERA. The Reds aren’t alone in this pain; the Twins’ 2022 trade for him — sending Taylor Rogers and Brent Rooker to land him — now looks like a gamble gone wrong. Paddack’s injury history and never-recovered potential made him a risky pickup, while Rogers and Rooker thrived — Rooker even becoming a two-time All-Star. It’s a sobering reminder that even promising pitchers can unravel, and trades built on hope often end up costing more than they’re worth.

Brady Shines, Reds Fall in Extra Innings

Pagan Returns Soon, Bullpen Breathes Easy
Emilio Pagan’s comeback is heating up—after a brutal leg injury sidelined him in May, the Reds’ closer is throwing live BP and could start rehabbing with Triple-A Louisville as early as Thursday. His return won’t solve all bullpen woes, but with the unit cratering since his absence, Pagan’s resurgence could be the boost Cincinnati desperately needs.

Pagán Near Return After Leg Injury
Emilio Pagán is on track to return from a brutal May leg injury, set to begin rehab with Triple-A Louisville this Thursday after throwing 25 pitches in live BP — a major boost for a Reds bullpen that’s cratered since his absence. Though he’s also battled a hamstring issue, Pagán feels ready to reclaim his 2023 form and hopes to rejoin the Reds sooner rather than later.

Woodruff Returns as Brewers Face Reds
The Brewers narrowly avoided a sweep with a 9-4 win over the Braves and now head to Cincinnati for a pivotal division showdown against the Reds — their first meeting this season. Brandon Woodruff makes his long-awaited return to the mound after missing nearly two months due to arm issues, while Drew Rom is sent down to make room. Facing Reds starter Brady Singer, who’s struggled with a high HR rate (17 in 66 innings), the Brewers lineup features Joey Ortiz at short, David Hamilton at third, and stars like Jackson Chourio, Sal Frelick, and Christian Yelich. Game time is 6:10 PM — tune i...
Elly De La Cruz Returns to Reds
Elly De La Cruz is back on track after a 19-game absence due to a hamstring strain, poised to return Tuesday as the Reds welcome him back with renewed energy. He’s been crushing rehab swings and even homered in his first rehab start — so much so he texted the manager he’d be back soon. But the team wisely opted for caution over speed. His injury snapped his 276-game streak — one of the longest for a Reds player — but he’s still hitting .280 with 12 homers before the setback. The Reds, meanwhile, are showing signs of life after a solid series...
Reds Prospects Shine Across Leagues
Jose Acuna is dominating Double-A, earning Pitcher of the Week with six innings, two hits, eight strikeouts, and just one walk—his ERA over five starts? 1.82. The 23-year-old, acquired in a 2022 trade from the Mets, is flashing elite stuff: nearly 10 Ks per 9 innings, ground-ball king, and way fewer walks than last year. With over 72% of batters left on base, he’s primed for Triple-A and possibly the majors by 2027. Meanwhile, Mason Neville is heating up in Arizona with a .500+ average and two homers, Kein Vu’s base-stealing antics led to a walk-off win, and even 17-year-old Eider Gutierrez is making...
Elly De La Cruz Returns This Tuesday
Elly De La Cruz is back and ready to swing, returning to the Reds lineup Tuesday after a hamstring injury sidelined him since June. He crushed a home run in his first rehab game, played shortstop, and even took DH at-bats — yes, he had some rough moments, but his health is the priority. Manager Francona praised his eagerness, even getting texts promising his return. Before the injury, he hit .280 with 12 homers, and he’s still climbing the All-Star voting charts — third among NL shortstops. This is one player you don’t want to miss when he steps back onto the fiel...

Reds on the Rise, But When Will They Move?
The Reds are heating up after a slump, winning four of their last six games—including a series against the Mets and a shock win over the Yankees. GM Nick Krall stays cautious, waiting for injured players to return before making big moves. Pitching is strong with Chase Burns dominating (9-1, 2.00 ERA) and Hunter Greene set to return in July. Offensively, rookie Sal Stewart is crushing it with 14 homers and 53 RBIs, including a historic six-RBI game. Elly De La Cruz’s rehab assignment could be the next big boost. With a talented roster and playoff potential, the Reds face a ma...
Reds Call Up Veteran Reliever Garcia
The Reds are making a bold move with veteran reliever Julian Garcia, a 31-year-old right-hander making his MLB debut after grinding through independent leagues and Puerto Rico. With a stellar 3.03 ERA and a dominant 54-to-12 K/BB ratio in Triple-A, Garcia’s electric slider and 93-94 mph fastball could be the bullpen boost the Reds desperately need—especially with key arms like Pierce Johnson and Emilio Pagan sidelined. Fans are buzzing, calling it overdue, as Garcia’s consistency and experience stand out in a bullpen that’s shown flashes but still needs stability. With the team clinging to playoff hopes, G...
Reds at Crossroads Before Deadline
The Reds are clinging to playoff hope despite a .500 record and a 2.5-game deficit, but with six teams ahead of them, the path is steep. After a brutal May-June stretch, the front office is holding off on deadline moves, waiting for key players like Elly De La Cruz and Hunter Greene to return. President Nick Krall argues that without wins, big trades don’t make sense — especially with expiring contracts offering little return. The team’s focus must be on winning now, not trading later. Every decision counts for a small-market club — and the next few weeks will reveal if they’...
Arroyo vs McLain for Second Base
The Reds call up top prospect Edwin Arroyo as Elly De La Cruz goes on the IL, sparking a battle for the second base spot. Arroyo, a switch-hitting slugger with elite defense, has been crushing it in Triple-A and showed flashes in his big league debut—going 4-for-5 with a double and two runs against the Yankees. With struggling veteran Matt McLain’s production down since shoulder surgery, Arroyo’s emergence is a serious threat. But De La Cruz’s imminent return likely means Arroyo heads back to Triple-A temporarily—unless he keeps hitting and defending like a future regular. M...
Julian Garcia Makes MLB Debut
Julian Garcia, the Reds’ 31-year-old fireballer with a 3-0 record and a 3.03 ERA, is making his Major League debut after a dominant stint in Triple-A. Striking out over 13 batters per nine innings while walking just 12 in 35 innings, Garcia brings elite control and a low batting average against to a bullpen in need of depth. His call-up coincides perfectly with the Reds’ recent bullpen improvements and the return of key arms, positioning him to shine in the big leagues. Meanwhile, minor league action includes Elly De La Cruz’s final rehab start, Chattanooga’s offensive explosion, and Daytona’s 14-run outburst l...
Chase Burns Rising as Reds Ace
Chase Burns is rewriting the script for the Reds’ season, dominating the Yankees with a five-inning masterpiece and cementing himself as the NL’s top pitcher. After a shortened debut, he’s emerged as the team’s ace—nine wins, a 2.00 ERA, and a streak of five straight wins with a 1.86 ERA. His velocity stays sharp, his strikeout rate is lethal, and his consistency is unmatched. Drafted second overall in 2024, Burns is proving faster than anyone expected—and with Hunter Greene returning, he’s just getting started.

Elly De La Cruz is heating up fast, crushing a 441-foot homer with 114 mph exit velocity in his rehab start — signaling he’s nearing a big-league return. Meanwhile, Reds minor leaguers lit up the scoreboard: T.J. Friedl, Hector Rodriguez, and Michael Toglia all homered in Louisville, while Jose Franco, Luis Mey, and Trevor Kuncl combined for a shutout. Dayton’s Kien Vu hit his 12th homer, and Jacob Friend is crushing it with a .300+ average and insane OPS. Mason Neville blasted two homers and drove in four in Arizona, batting over .400, while Steele Hall stole his 15th base. Across...

Manager Francona raves about his late-game RBIs, while teammate Spencer Steer admits struggles but vows to rebound. With Elly De La Cruz set to return, the Reds’ offense is primed for a playoff run.

Meanwhile, pitcher Jake Bird was optioned to Triple-A to make room for Elmer Rodriguez, who’ll start Sunday’s game, with Gerrit Cole set for Monday’s tilt against the Tigers.

Pagán’s Return Could Save the Reds’ Bullpen
The Reds’ bullpen is in crisis, sporting the third-worst ERA in MLB at 4.91 — and it’s getting worse since closer Emilio Pagán went down with a hamstring strain in May. Since his absence, the bullpen’s ERA ballooned to 5.59, the second-worst in baseball. With nine different pitchers splitting saves and Pagán still leading the team with six despite not pitching, the Reds’ late-inning woes are glaring. The team’s offseason bullpen investments — including Pagán’s $20M deal and signings like Brock Burke and Pierce Johnson — are now sidelined by injuries. But there’s hope: Pagán threw his first live BP...
Brady Singer’s Contract Year Collapse

Could the Reds have made a smarter move by trading Nick Lodolo while he was hot? Last season, he dazzled with career-best stats and surprising durability—now, injuries and a steep decline in performance have cast doubt on his value.

The Yankees cruised to a 5-0 win, powered by Ben Rice’s three-run homer, Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s solo shot, and Anthony Volpe’s RBI single, marking their 10th win in 15 games despite Aaron Judge being sidelined.
